ESC Congress 2026 Abstract
DNA control region is needed for normal heart development in mice
Mouse experiments found that deleting the region reduced a gene’s activity and disrupted heart muscle, valve and coronary blood vessel development.Mouse experiments found that deleting the region reduced a gene’s activity and disrupted heart muscle, valve and coronary blood vessel development.
Mouse studyMechanisms
Who was studiedMouse embryos
What changedDeleting the control region disrupted heart muscle, valve and coronary blood vessel development in mice
The catchThe experiments measured embryonic heart development, not regeneration in adult or aging hearts
